"On behalf of my senior colleagues, the police officers, support staff and cadets of the Bermuda Police Service and the Bermuda Reserve Police – THANK YOU for loaning Sandy to us for the last five years. We appreciate that it was no small sacrifice you each made for her to be here, and your sacrifice was Bermuda’s gain. She served this community well and she is recognised for her significant contribution for helping to make Bermuda safer. Sandy represented her Police Service professionally and she has made her family proud. We will miss her; we will shed tears at her loss; and we will remember her lovingly."
